Line 20:
*** This all qualifies as a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] for Tom Hanks, who not only managed to carry a movie by himself for two hours - no music, no other actors, just him - and to top it all off, he made you ''cry'' for a ''volleyball''.
* ''[[Chariots of Fire]]'' is a slow build, beginning with the opening credit scene on the beach and Vangelis' score, but culminates in the scene where Ian Holm' Sam Mussabini, barred from the Olympic stadium, only learns that Abrahams has won the 100m when he sees the British flag rise over the stadium from his dingy hotel room. *Hat punch!*
* The death of Charlotte in ''[[Charlotte's Web]]''. As the Nostalgia Critic put it in his [https://web.archive.org/web/20130924135925/http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/nostalgia-critic/1600-nostalgia-critic-top-11-saddest-moments Top 11 Saddest Nostalgic Moments], "I'll never use a can of Raid again."
** [http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=cfU75KEPV_U That song] is haunting.

Line 74:
** Serge's death, as well as the picture his daughter drew for him...
* The excellent ''[[Crash (film)|Crash]]'', has a few of these moments but none jerk tears more than the scene in which {{spoiler|the locksmith's 5-year-old daughter, believing herself to be wearing an invincible armour cloak, runs in front of her daddy as he's being held up by an angry, disillusioned gunman. The handgun accidentally discharges just as the girl leaps up to hug the father. Cue horrific closeup of the father's face after he realises that he made his daughter think she was impervious to bullets}}. {{spoiler|''Crowning Moment of Heartwarming'' occurs when you realize the ammo in the pistol was craftily loaded by the gunman's daughter with blanks, knowing her father would get into a situation like this.}}
* ''Crossing'', a film about North Korean refugees. Its depiction of how people live in that country ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20090415155003/http://english.chosun.com/w21data/html/news/200804/200804300013.html actually managed to get a theater crying.]'' It definitely succeeds in portraying Kim Jong-il as an [[Exclusively Evil|Always Chaotic]] [[Evil Overlord]] with [[0% Approval Rating]]...
* {{spoiler|Li Mubai and Shu Lien's [[Last Kiss]], followed by Mubai's [[Famous Last Words]] and his death in Shu-Lien's arms}} in ''[[Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon]]''.
* ''[[Crow]]'' has a scene that gets me everytime. As Eric leaves Albrecht's apartment and Albrecht asks "Are you gonna disappear into thin air again?", Eric turns to him, the heartbreaking look on his face and says "I think I'll just use your front door." It told me that that he misses the simple pleasures of living.
